Kickstarting the ATT and CIOT Employer Webinar Series

On 31 October, ATT and CIOT jointly launched their first virtual employer webinar in a series of three to help employers of ATT and CTA trainees through their recruitment to retention journey. The aim of this webinar series is to share best practice and insights in the recruitment, support, development and retention of tax trainees.

The first webinar, ‘Attract and recruit the best talent in tax’, was supported by Jenny Catlin, Head of Professional Education, and Amelia Chapman, Early Careers Recruitment Manager from Deloitte UK, who candidly shared their recruitment strategies, career pathways and selection process.

We were joined by Barry Jefferd, Tax Partner of George Hay Chartered Accountants, who identified challenges in recruitment from a small firm’s perspective. He highlighted how to be agile and proactive in recruitment, given the challenges presented by the economic climate.

Recruitment specialist Georgiana Head also joined us to offer expert advice on how to recruit more effectively. She explained how to improve response rates when advertising on job boards and finished with her valuable insights on salary expectations in the current market.
